Songs you wish people would stop covering

Mainly inspired by "The Voice", there are some songs that incessantly crop up in these sorts of contests that I wish people would just leave well alone.

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
"Hallelujah" - only two people should attempt this. Leonard Cohen and kd lang.
"Everybody Hurts" - Leave it to REM
Anything by Rhianna, Beyonce or Eva Cassidy

List away, folks...

Jeff Buckley did the best version of this song IMO, but maybe I'm speaking from a guitarist's point of view...

Fair call, completely forgot his version. Make that three people who have done it well Smile
